“This is a new Mayor, actually.”
That is a difference without a distinction! They replace one corrupt Black Female Mayor (Stephanie Rawlings-Blake) with another (Pugh). If the Black residents really cared about fixing things, they need better stock in the people they elect.
I differentiate between Rawlings-Blake and current Mayor Pugh in that the latter seems to be attempting to break away from some Democrat dogmas. Pugh’s predecessors could care less about fixing the problems or even discussing them, but she has been a lot more open about it and has shown willingness to begin to address them. I was also surprised when Pugh announced she opposed raising the minimum wage, stating it would hurt her constituents and leave even more low-end workers without jobs. That alone shows she has some grasp of basic economics and reasoning skills.
